[Nazan's P.O.V.]
I fell asleep as my sister cried. I was tempted to make sure Bolton heard it so that he knew how cruel it was to force a mother away from her child, and how much he and his family had hurt my sister.
Bolton swore to marry my sister, but he couldn't even protect her. I was starting to regret saving him, but fate was what brought him to my sister - they were a mated pair which meant that they would be even more unwilling to be separated. I was starting to feel hopeless.
When I saw my sister again, it was after her confinement period. She looked a lot more haggard and her eyes would only lit up whenever Kirk was mentioned. Otherwise, her eyes were hollow, almost sunken into her sallow face. She clearly had malnutrition which made my heart ache as I looked at her. I clenched my fists tightly to resist the urge to beat Bolton up.
